Description
Regularity and topology conditions are imposed on the exact Type IIB solutions on AdS4 x S2 x S2 x Σ with 16 supersymmetries, which were derived in a companion paper [1]. We construct an infinite class of regular solutions with varying dilaton, and non-zero 3-form fluxes. Our solutions may be viewed as the fully back-reacted geometries of AdS5 x S5 (or more generally, Janus) doped with D5 and/or NS5 branes. The solutions are parametrized by the choice of an arbitrary genus g hyper-elliptic Riemann surface Σ with boundary, all of whose branch points are restricted to lie on a line. For genus 0, the Janus solution with 16 supersymmetries and 6 real parameters is recovered; its topology coincides with that of AdS5 x S5. The genus g ≥ 1 solutions are parametrized by a total of 4g + 6 real numbers, 2g-1 of which are the real moduli of Σ. The solutions have 2g + 2 asymptotic AdS5 x S5 regions, g three-spheres with RR 3-form charge, and another g with NSNS 3-form charge. Collapse of consecutive branch points of Σ yields singularities which correspond to D5 and NS5 branes in the probe limit. It is argued that the AdS/CFT dual gauge theory to each of our solutions consists of a 2+1-dimensional planar interface on which terminate 2g + 2 half-Minkowski 3+1-dimensional space-time N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theories. Generally, the N = 4 theory in each Minkowski half-space-time may have an independent value of the gauge coupling, and the interface may support various operators, whose interface couplings are further free parameters of the dual gauge theory
